' PAEER-ROLL-MAKING- APPARATUS.

VNew Jersey, have invented certain newV and useful Improvements in Paper-Roll-Making Apparatus, of which the following is-a specicatio Y My invention relates to improvements in paper rollmaking apparatus, the object of the invention being to provide an apparatus of the-character stated which will permit the operator to windrolls of paper frenaV a` supplyv roll in any length desired.

A further Objectis to provide an appa-- ratusyof the character stated whichis particularly adapted Vfor barbers use in the` Y vform of paper rollsfor chair backs such as provements. Fig; 2 is a view in horizontal commonly used to protect the head fromr the cushion or back of the chair.

The rolls are now bought by the barbers of a size for use, and with myV improvements the barber can Vsecure a large supply roll and wind rolls for use and save the expensel o f purchasing the smaller rolls. j

A" further object is to provide an improved apparatus of theV character lstated which c ,anbe manufactured and sold at a reasonably low price, which is simple construction, and which will eiiiciently perform the functions for whichit is intended.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully Y hereinafter described and claims. Y 1

6 represents a roll of paper constituting the supply roll which is supported on a shaft 7,V the latter' having conical sleeves 8 thereonk to maintain the roll in central position. The shaft 7 has reduced journals 9 at its ends supported in bearings 10 at the upper ends ofbars 11, the latter secured in the boX as shown. f

12, 12 represent slides which are dovetailed in Vcross section and iit Vin vertical grooves 13 in the sides of box 1. These slides 12 project above the sides of 'boX 1, and have perforated finger holds 14 at their upper ends, so that they may be readily removed and replaced asdesired'.

.15 vand 16 represent transverse rods around Vwhich the paper strip 17 is passed in Vorder to oder suflicient frictional resistance to the movement of the paper to insure a proper winding. These rods 15 and 16 are supported in vertical bars 18 secured in the boX, and the paper is passed over the upper roll V15, thence under the lower roll 16, and is guided from the lower roll 16 to the winding shaft 19 by means of enlargements 20.- These enlargements 2O may be formedV integrally with vertical bars 21 secured to the sides of the box 1 at the end thereof, v and they. operate to compel the strip 17 Vto curve or sag slightly at its center, and thereby direct the same uniformlyV y to the winding shaft 19.

. The winding shaft V19 consists of two half sections 22 land 23. These sections 22 and 23 are semi-cylindrical in cross section, and they receivethe paper strip 17 between them. This shaft 19 is supported at its inner end in a bearing 24 in a disk 25, the disk 25 being of the same diameter of theroll to be wound, so that it operates as a guide to discontinue winding when the roll hides the disk. The shaft 19, comprising the sections 22 and 23 projects through a bearing sleeve 26 in the box 1, and section 23 at its outer end is secured to a crank arm 27 to turn the shaft.

In operation, the section 22 ofV shaft 19 is` first removed and the end of strip 17 posi.

finned over section 23. Section 22 is then Y ication in which 1 dispense withthe en with the drive gear 32 havinga rotary lmounting k33 l'on the outside of therboX 1.u

- modification illustrated in Figs. 5,76, 7, and 8,1 also illustrate a cutting blade' 36 located placed in position as shown in Figs. 1 and 3,

to clamp the paper between the shaft sec-v tions. The shaft is then turned by means of the crank arm 27, and theV paper will be wound upon the shaft. y When the properiv diameterof roll is'had, as indicated by the disk 25, the operator stops the winding, and

withdraws section 22 of shaftl. He'can then withdraw Y shaft section 2 3 while he holds the roll inhis hand, andcan then tear offk the paper strip, using theend of the box as a straight edge'forthis purpose. Y

' InFigs. 5, G, 7 and 8, 1` illustrate amodilargements" for guiding the paper strip and employ in lieu thereof a roller 29 which of least diameter at its center and Ygradually `increases in diameterto its ends. V VThis rollcauses Ithe stripl to sag or belly, and in!` sures a proper guidingof thesame onto the winding shaft 30. vThe windingshaft 30 corresponds to fthe winding shaft 19 except that at the outeren'd of the shaftf30,1 pro-v vide gear segments- 31. These segments are preferably integral with or rigidly fixed to the sections ofthe shaft, and when together constitute a complete pinion which meshes `To hold the shaft 30 against longitudinal movement, I Vprovide a pivoted spring tongue. I 341 which may be swung up out of the way or' f may be swung down into position against the endof` the shaft as shown clearly in Fig. 6, a

pin j being provided to limit the downward movement gofthe'spring tongue, and hence prevent .its accidental displacement. i In this in a recess 37 in the end of the boX. This blade 35 is preferably a straight piece of steel or other sharp metal which'is coveredl by a hinged section 38 when not in use. This section 3S has a hoolr39 to engage an'eye 40V. on the cover 2 to cover the v'knife whenvnot in use. p

.Vhen in operation, the'fcover 38 1s i dropped down andthe paper can be readily torny or cut when pressed'again'st Vthe Vcuttingk blade. .With my improved apparatus, a

barber can purchase a large supply roll and vwind for himself rolls of the proper size lthe-strip of scribed;
